Abstract:

This research was carried out during a 2017 sabbatical spent at the University of Salamanca. My objectives were to recover the historical memory of the early figures of the feminist struggle in that university and its context in the years of Spain’s transition to democracy, elucidate the processes through which women sought institutional empowerment over almost four decades, and explain the diverse interests that converged in different ways to understand women’s rights and the integral insertion of women into domains of academic and social life.   The study had two axes: first, to

Abstract:

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, one of the leading African woman writers highlights the uniqueness of Nigerian culture and its shortcoming. In her novel Purple Hibiscus, she apparently depicts the culture-bound enslavement imposed upon innocent women and their encumbrances in African society. A woman becomes an object to fulfil man’s inordinate desires. Hence, the objective of the study is to bring out the plight of black women who have been victims of their culture and society.

Abstract:

The study of Indian culture has fascinated many scholars, because of its unity in diversity and complexity. Indian culture is one of the longest surviving cultures in the world, because of its quality of resilience and inclusiveness. India is a land with an ancient culture and heritage, which has a continuous tradition from the ancient period. Many facts of Indian culture and heritage of later age are almost based upon the culture of the Vedas which are particularly and remarkably true for the Hindu society and culture. Vedic culture was very rich in its various aspects like religion, politica

The authors of the work believe that it is important not only to legally proclaim gender parity and equality, but also to ensure the practical implementation of the opportunity for women and girls to participate on equal terms with men in political, economic and social processes. The level of development of the labor market, guaran-teed access to higher education for everyone, and personnel policies of government bodies are changing ide-as about the position of women in society.

For over three decades, during the height of Gilded Age economic extravagance, the women of New York High Society maintained an elite social identity by possessing, displaying, and cultivating cultural capital.

High Society women distinguished themselves from these social climbers by obeying restrictive codes of speech, body language, and dress that were the manifestations of their cultural capital.

Abstract:

White women who inhabited the West Indies in the eighteenth century fascinated the metropole. In popular prints, novels, and serial publications, these women appeared to stray from “proper” British societal norms. Inhabiting a space dominated by a tropical climate and the presence of a large enslaved African population opened white women to censure. Almost from the moment of colonial encounter, they were perceived not as proper British women but as an imperial “other,” inhabiting a middle space between the ideal woman and the supposed indigenous “savage.” Furthermore, white women seemed to be

Motorcycling culture is often framed as consisting of outlaws, while being predominantly a male arena, in which bikers are always assumed to be masculine.

The fact that women’s involvement in male-dominant motorcycling cultures and activities is still limited in Malaysia places a high distinction

Unpaid Care and Domestic Work (UCDW) and Paid Domestic Work (PDW) are essential to societal wellbeing. However, these activities often carry negative perceptions, attitudes and beliefs when performed by men and boys. As a result, women and girls typically shoulder the primary responsibility for performing UCDW. Similarly, society often undervalues PDW by perceiving it as low-skilled work, as demonstrated through low remuneration and unfair employment practices. The narratives many cultures embrace concerning UCDW and PDW partly explain why these essential activities frequently fall on women an

Abstract:

Over 1,100 experts have shared with us their concerns about COVID-19 and COVID-impacted areas in the immediate and longer term future. This report outlines social and community concerns. Experts are concerned about social inequalities beyond health. They note that in the long term groups may have different access to opportunities. This could be particularly true for those with protected characteristics such as women, members of the BAME community, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Abstract:

Gender issues have become a part of mainstream Cambodian politics over the last decade, and gender-neutral electoral systems have been developed in cooperation between donors and government. Female representation has been achieved primarily through direct and indirect elections at different levels. And although Cambodia is a male-dominated culture in a patrimonial society, attention has turned to attracting female voters, and the strategic importance of female leaders and role models is being slowly realised. Predictably, driven by popular demand, gender issues have become a part of mainstream
